  • Work closely with welders, fabricators and supervisors to meet production targets.

  • Maintain safe working practices and support quality inspections and continuous improvement.

What you'll need

  • A recognised, time-served background as a Plater.

  • Proven experience in plating, heavy fabrication or structural steelwork.

  • The ability to work accurately from engineering drawings.

  • Experience using fabrication tools, machinery and measuring equipment.

  • A sound understanding of health and safety within a workshop or industrial environment.

Familiarity with fabrication documentation and quality inspection procedures would be an advantage.

What's on offer

  • Permanent employment with Volvo Construction Equipment.

  • £18.07 per hour.

  • 35 hours per week, worked over 4 days.

  • An opportunity to put your trade skills to work within an established manufacturing business.
